Signs and Wonders Bear Witness

1 When Yeshua had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their towns. 2 Now when John heard in prison about the works of the Messiah, he sent word through his disciples 3 and said to Yeshua, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

4 Yeshua replied, “Go report to John what you hear and see: 5 the blind see and the lame walk, those with tzara’at are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised and the poor have good news proclaimed to them. 6 Blessed is the one who is not led to stumble because of Me.”

A Prophet Without Honor

7 Now as they were leaving, Yeshua began to talk to the crowd concerning John. “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 No? So what did you go out to see? A man dressed in finery? Look, those who wear finery are in the palaces of kings! 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, even more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written,

‘Behold, I send My messenger before You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

11 “Amen, I tell you, among those born of women, none has arisen greater than John the Immerser. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven is treated with violence, and the violent grasp hold of it. 13 For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until the time of John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears, let him hear!

16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call to one other, saying,

17 ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We wailed, but you did not mourn.’

18 “For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”

20 Then Yeshua began to denounce the towns where most of His miracles had happened, because they did not turn from their sins. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have turned long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 Nevertheless I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the Day of Judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will go down to Sheol! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 Nevertheless I tell you that it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on the Day of Judgment than for you.”

Yeshua Teaches the Ways of His Father

25 At that time Yeshua said in response, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and discerning and revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, Father, for this way was pleasing to You.

27 “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ‘you will find rest for your souls.’ 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” — Matthew 11 | Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life Translation of the Bible.

The Three Angels Messages Lesson 02: No Sympathy for the Devil

Revelation 14:8 - And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

The second angel’s message seems very complicated at first. It definitely deals with a lot of symbols. In order to understand this Bible verse, let’s take a closer look at the following keywords:

Babylon

Fallen

Wine

Wrath

Fornication

Let’s read together Genesis 9:7-17; Genesis 10:10; Genesis 11:1-4; Isaiah 14:13-14; and Daniel 1:2.

If we are to talk about Babylon, we need to also discuss Babel. Both kingdoms were founded in the land of Shinar. Babel can be considered the archetype for all the worldly kingdoms that followed it.

The story of the Tower of Babel is one of the most famous stories in the Bible. Have you ever considered the builders’ motivations for building the tower in the first place?

The builders did not trust God’s promise to never destroy the world again with a flood. They wanted to survive another flood on their own power.

The builders also did not want to follow God’s command to be fruitful and multiply across the earth. Rather, they wanted to build a tower whose “top is in the heavens” and make a name for themselves. The builders seem to be motivated by pride and perhaps to even take the worship of God for themselves.

Let’s read together Exodus 20:2-6; 1 Chronicles 9:1; Jeremiah 16:18; Jeremiah 50:38; and Daniel 3:1-7.

The story of Daniel’s three friends and the fiery furnace is another well-known Bible story. Have you considered what was Nebuchadnezzar’s motivation for setting up the golden image in the first place? He wanted everyone in his empire to acknowledge Babylon as supreme, even over any god his subjects might be worshiping. If anyone refused to bow before Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, they were to be killed by being tossed into a fiery furnace.

Nebuchadnezzar had essentially set up a false religious system of worship enforced by civil authority. This system forced people to choose between dying for their religious faith or to compromise that faith in order to live.

Let’s read together 2 Samuel 1:27; Isaiah 21:9; Jeremiah 51:8-9, 47; Daniel 5:25-30; and Revelation 18:2.

“Babylon is fallen, is fallen.” God ultimately judged Babylon for its idolatry and persecution of God’s people. Babylon was conquered by the Medo-Persians in 539 BC.

Let’s read together Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-35; 31:3-5; and Jeremiah 51:7.

Alcoholic wine in the Bible is always viewed in a negative light. Alcoholic wine clouds and even perverts judgment. Note that the Bible does talk about unfermented non-alcoholic wine more positively, but that is a Bible study for another time.

Let’s read Psalm 75:8; Jeremiah 23:15; and Hosea 4:11-12

Prophetically speaking, wine also represents God’s judgment against wickedness and idolatry. You definitely do not want to drink this wine!

Let’s read together Exodus 15:6-7; 32:9-12; Numbers 11:33; 16:46; Deuteronomy 9:7-8; 2 Kings 22:13-17; Ezra 5:12; Jeremiah 44:7-9; and Romans 1:18.

What is wrath? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary offers two definitions that are relevant to our Bible study today. Wrath can be defined as a “strong vengeful anger or indignation (anger aroused by something unjust, unworthy, or mean).” Wrath can also be defined as “retributory punishment for an offense or a crime; divine punishment.”

God’s wrath is His response to sin. In the Old Testament, God’s wrath consumed the Egyptian army chasing the children of Israel. God’s wrath was also aroused when the children of Israel committed sins or fell into idolatry. God’s wrath led to the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity.

Let’s read together Psalm 21:8-9; Zephaniah 1:1-18; Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7; Romans 2:5; Ephesians 5:6; and Colossians 3:6.

God’s wrath is also associated with judgment. God’s wrath will be poured in full on the unrighteous at Judgment Day.

Let’s read together Numbers 16:46; 2 Chronicles 12:6-9; 32:25-26; Psalms 78:32-39: 85:2-4; and 106:23.

Despite what many people believe, God does not want to pour His wrath on people. In the Old Testament, Aaron and Moses both interceded on behalf of the children of Israel to avert God’s wrath. God is willing to spare sinners from His wrath when they humble themselves before Him. Whether it was the people of Israel or a king like Hezekiah, God was willing to grant mercy to all who came to Him earnestly and asked forgiveness of their sins.

Let’s read together Isaiah 53:4-6, 10; John 3:16, 36; Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; and 1 John 4:10.

God has done everything He could to shield us from His wrath. God loves us so much that He gave His only son Jesus to die for our sins. Jesus is our ultimate intercessor. We only have to confess and repent of our sins and call upon Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Let’s read together Ezekiel 23:16-18; Hosea 4:11-12; Isaiah 23:17; and John 8:41.

What is fornication? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives the definition as “sexual intercourse between two persons who are not married to each other.”

The Bible likened God’s people (the church) to a woman (Jeremiah 6:2). Paul the Apostle described the church as the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:22-33). Therefore, spiritual fornication would be the church embracing someone or something other than Christ. In the Old Testament times, the people of Israel strayed from God and worshiped various idols and other false gods.

Let’s read together Matthew 24:24; John 4:24; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-23; Revelation 17:1-6; and Revelation 18:3, 9.

The book of the Bible describes a harlot woman who represents a false worship of Christ. This church outwardly seems Christian, but in actuality, it does not follow Jesus in spirit and truth. Many people will be deceived and fall into Babylon.

Let’s read together Deuteronomy 31:19 and Revelation 18:1-8.

What does the second angel’s message mean?

All false systems of worship will be judged. Salvation by works, the idea you can make it to heaven on your own merits, cannot save you. Salvation in sin, the idea that once you are saved, you are always saved, will lead you to be lost. All these forms of worship will lead you to Babylon.

Even if you are worshiping at the “right” church the “right” way, you can have Babylon in your heart. If you harbor pride in your heart or you esteem anything in the world more than God, then you are in spiritual Babylon.

If you find yourself in Babylon, what are you to do? God wants you to leave Babylon right now! Jesus is calling you to worship Him in spirit and in truth. He does not want you to face God’s wrath. Repent and turn to Christ your Savior!

Friend, will you share the second angel’s message with others?

SURELY even HE did more than this. meanwhile og anunoby is limping around the court for 5 minutes like he really needs to take a shit. this is the mecca??? OOOOOKAYYYY.

you know who was hooping?? DONTE DIVINCENZO. where the fuck was this in cali huh?? where were you when they bay needed you???

man i went and got myself emotionally attached to the villanova knicks and now what. NOW what.

meanwhile, the pacers play a complete game, which has not been true of a pacers team in perhaps centuries. entire starting lineup pretty evenly contributes, no one is carrying, then guys off the bench come in and help. the pacers have been very consistent since the beginning of the season too like it’s important to note that they played the lakers for the in season tournament title back in december? november? and while the lakers fell off, the pacers are headed to an ecf. good shit. straight hoops. i like it.

twolves vs nuggets:

oh KAT. you know i don’t like you, KAT. but you HOOPED last night. naz reid. you HOOPED hooped. thank you to KAT, naz reid, and jaden mcdaniels for being the only members of the minnesota timberwolves who could break 50% fgp.

imagine you’re the denver nuggets and the twolves’ best player is bricking or airmailing every shot, and they STILL overcome a 20 point deficit to go to the conference finals. don’t you just KNOW ur cooked then?? don’t you just feel it in your… NUGGETS 🤣🤣🤣

Heartstrings: Glorious Praise to the God of Heaven and Earth

For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand." (Psalm 95:1-7)

The Invasion of Locusts

1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel son of Pethuel.

2 Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your ancestors? 3 Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. 4 What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts have eaten.

5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips. 6 A nation has invaded my land, a mighty army without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness. 7 It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees. It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white.

8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the betrothed of her youth. 9 Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the Lord. The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the Lord. 10 The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the olive oil fails.

11 Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed. 12 The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree— all the trees of the field—are dried up. Surely the people’s joy is withered away.

A Call to Lamentation

13 Put on sackcloth, you priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. 14 Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.

15 Alas for that day! For the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.

16 Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes— joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17 The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up. 18 How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering.

19 To you, Lord, I call, for fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. 20 Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness. — Joel 1 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

Berakhot 10b: 8. "The Jedah."

Following is a Gemara on the three things to which we are attracted but not grateful because of it. Recall everything we discover is supposed to contribute to a spontaneous and universal change of heart regarding the conditions on this world. The Jewish people, a mere 15 million are at the heart of it- how we have managed to hinge civilization on the fate of such a small number has to be addressed at once and life must at once be threaded onward through the eye of a needle that gets more microscopic all the time:

8. And for three things they didn't thank him: just from Gihon - and they didn't thank him. He cut down the doors of the temple and punished the king of Assyria - and they did not thank him. Nisan passed by Nisan - and they did not thank him.

The Gihon is one of the four rivers in Eden. Its etymology refers to the moment sentience begins:

"The verb גיח (giah), or גוח (gwh), means to burst forth. It's applied to rivers and human births. Human collectives such as families and tribes are in the Bible often symbolized as mountains. Hence births signify valleys and are associated with rivers.

Verb גיא (gy') isn't used in the Bible and its meaning is subsequently unknown. The derived noun גיא (gai'), however, means valley and is used frequently. There are at least seven named valleys mentioned in the Old Testament.

The observation that "every valley shall be exalted and every mountain made low" ties into the principle of rebirth, via which is peopled a world in which every individual is king and high priest and utterly free."

For just from Gihon - and they didn't thank him, the Number is 2191, א‎באט‎ , abat, ‎ "thick, gross, and clumsy."

Ignorance must not be tolerated: mankind must be educated, every last one us and made fit for citizenship and service. Things are a fucking mess because we have stopped educating people and giving them an affordable place in society:

"The verb אבד ('abad) is the Bible's common verb for to die or to expire. In essence, this verb appears to describe a disintegration, whether the disintegration of one person (what happens to that person's body in the grave), or that of a group or organization, or even of some person or event from the larger library of personal or collective memories.

Our verb is used to describe the death of people (Numbers 17:12, Job 31:19), or their wisdom (Deuteronomy 32:28), and even their erasure from other peoples' memory (Job 18:17, Psalm 41:5). Vigor may fail (Job 30:2), wisdom may fail (Isaiah 29:14), hearts (=courage) may fail (Jeremiah 4:9).

Our verb is even, quite telling, used to capture a state of lostness, from which redemption is certainly possible: of donkeys (1 Samuel 9:3), or sheep (Jeremiah 50:6, Psalm 119:176).

The derivatives of the verb are:

The masculine noun ��בד ('obed), meaning destruction (Numbers 24:20 and 24:24 only).

The feminine noun אבדה ('abeda), denoting a lost item, that is an item that is no longer integrated in its normal place of application (Exodus 22:8, Leviticus 6:3).

The masculine noun אבדן ('abdan), meaning destruction (Esther 8:6 and 9:5)."

Championship of the poor and abandoned is never ever a popular stance but I insist we do it.

He cut down the doors of the temple and punished the king of Assyria. The King was named Sennecharib, the sleeping ambush:

"Sennacherib: (d. 548 BCE) King of Assyria, he conquered all the areas surrounding Judea. He then threatened to conquer Judea and asked for its surrender—while blaspheming G-d. King Hezekiah prayed for deliverance, and that night all the Assyrian soldiers – hundreds of thousands of them – were killed by an angel of G-d."

The Number is 3453, ג'דה‎ג‎, Jedah, he opened the doors to the temple and let Jews back in. "He let the people have their own opinions."

Nisan passed by Nisan - and they did not thank him. The Number is 1983, יטףג‎‎, "the caresses expired."

Then he forced the people to work for their royal titles:

Verb שנן (shanan) means to sharpen, and sharpening is achieved by removing material by repeatedly stroking a blade against a whetstone. This verb is also used in the sense of sharpening a mind by repeating the same exercise. Noun שן (shen) means tooth. Noun שנינה (shenina) denotes a "sharp" word; a taunt.

Verb שנה (shana) means to change or create a difference — of one's mind, or one's clothes, and this mostly through repetition. Noun שנה (shana) means year.

Perhaps formally separate but obviously related, or else the very same verb שנה (shana) means to repeat or reoccur. Noun שנים (shenayim) or שתים (shetayim) is the common word for two or a pair. Adjective שני (sheni) or שנית (shenit) means second and noun משנה (misneh) means second, double, or copy. Noun שנאן (shin'an) is used as a superlative in figures of speech (i.e. expressions like double-down, super-double-good).

Noun שני (shani) denotes the color purple. This noun might formally derive from a third wholly separate verb of unclear meaning but obviously reminds of the many times a garment has to be dipped in dye to have its color changed.

The Value in Gematria is 8554, פהןד, fehand, ‎"time to plant the spear, to take command."

Fe=time's folding

Hand=

The feminine noun חנית (hanit), meaning spear. BDB Theological Dictionary, wondering what a spear has to do with our verb, refers to the great theologian Gesenius, who assumed it was because a spear is flexible. Here at Abarim Publications we don't know much about spears, and we would never dare to blatantly oppose Gesenius, if it weren't that spears are notoriously rigid since it's no good to hurl a flopping, wagging branch at someone. Perhaps this particular word for spear derived from a custom of thrusting one's spear into the ground to mark one's crib (1 Samuel 26:7). See our article on the Greek word κυριος (kurios) for more on the ceremonial importance of a man's spear.

The masculine noun מחנה (mahaneh), meaning camp (Genesis 32:22, Numbers 2:17), or military company (Genesis 50:9).

The feminine noun תחנה (tahana), meaning encamping or encampment. This word occurs only in 2 Kings 6:8. Note that this noun is spelled the same way as תחנה (tehinna), meaning favor, from the verb חנן (hanan), meaning to be gracious."

Job 10: 1-7. "The Eschol."

God says we should kill and punish our enemies and then raise a glass. He is correct. We are allowing dogma to dictate the anti-qualities of our life instead of obeying the Torah and amplifying life, turning it into a masterwork of modern civilization. The very idea of allowing a bunch of baby fucking drug addicts to take over our land literally and figuratively is nauseating, and so is their strange tale about the bloodening.

Blood belongs under the skin, not on the outside as the Torah has said long and long, unless it is released from the carcass of a food animal. Otherwise, men are not allowed to engage in bloodshed.

But the attacks on October 7, 2023, waged by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Israeli soil have raised a question how to cleanse the world of their presence and their political supporters without violating the Torah. The answer to when to kill one's enemies depends on the situation:

Evil If the enemy is evil, one should pray for an end to evil.

HumanIf the enemy is human, one should defend themselves and attack first if necessary. They should also pray that no one will have to die and that their enemies will become friends. The Talmud teaches, "If someone rises to kill you, rise up to kill him first". The Rebbe explains that this is the only way for Israel to deal with enemies who want to destroy it.

Great sinIf the enemy has committed a great sin, it may be permitted to ask for their demise. However, if the enemy has not committed a great sin, the aggrieved person should not seek retribution. Instead, they should be kind to the enemy.

WarAccording to Parshah, a king may wage war against seven nations, Amalek, or in defense against an enemy that attacks Israel. After winning these obligatory wars, the king may wage a non-obligatory war to expand Israel's borders.

We are not to smile on the plans of the wicked or permit persons who are ritually impure to detract from our quality of life. On the personal scale every adult even a few young men know how and when they must alter their habits in order to become ritually pure. Ritual purity does not mean you can't engage in water sports, bondage sex, or jump into the middle of the orgy, it means such things cannot spread disease, cause harm, violate vows, responsibilities, or violate Eden.

So long as the fruits of the actions result in Shabbos, the act can be considered ritually pure. If the fruits of the actions are sin, like a flaccid shameful penis, the act must be discontinued.

Once again the definition of Shabbos is:

"The root שבע (sb'; now spelled as שׂבע (sb') and pronounced with an s) means to be sated or satisfied with food. It's used literally for people who have (or don't have) enough to eat (Hosea 4:10) or drink (Amos 4:8), but also for the earth sated with rain (Proverbs 30:16), a sword drinking its fill with blood (Jeremiah 46:10). Our verb is also used for fillers other than food: Harlotry (Ezekiel 16:28), plunder (Jeremiah 50:10), an observation (Isaiah 53:10), the goodness of God's house (Psalm 65:4), sons (Psalm 17:14). And also it may denote an excess: of honey (Proverbs 25:16), tossing (Job 7:4), poverty (Proverbs 28:19), shame (Habakkuk 2:16), and the list goes on.

The derivatives of this verb are:

The masculine noun שבע (soba'), meaning satiety (Ruth 2:18, Proverbs 13:25) or abundance (Psalm 16:11).

The feminine counterpart of the previous noun שבעה (sab'a or sib'a), also meaning satiety (Isaiah 55:2, Ezekiel 16:28).

The masculine noun שבע (saba'), also meaning sated or satisfied (Genesis 35:29, 1 Samuel 2:5, Job 14:1).

The verb בוש (bosh) means to be ashamed (1 Samuel 20:30, Isaiah 29:22, Jeremiah 6:15). Another verb that means to be ashamed, namely חפר (haper II), appears to predominantly express private feelings of shame and responses thereto, whereas the verb בוש (bosh) seems to emphasize a being publicly disgraced, almost to the point where it begins to mean a being expelled or cast out. Note that where יבש (yabesh) means to become dry, חפר (hapar I) means to dig, either to cover something up (perhaps something shameful) or to search for something (perhaps for water during dryness).

It appears that to the Hebrews the act of being ashamed was based on the act of being weak or weakened, which explains the social aspect of our verb בוש (bosh), since weakness is always measured relative to something/one stronger.

It stands to reason that the Hebrews recognized dryness, weakness and shame as being kindred, and that a flaccid penis reflected these states, whereas an erect penis reflected tautness, strength and confidence. In antiquity, one's emotions were thought to be seated in the lower abdomen, whereas the penis was the seat of a man's will (JOHN 1:13).

This would, at the same time, force Israel's rather unique chastity laws to flow over into the social arena and dictate one's general attitude towards others. In other words, a man should deal with another man irrespective of both men's social or financial status and even of both men's degree of learning and wisdom.

Those are all "private" things and a man may utilize his own strength and plenty to give joy and posterity to his own household, but not to his neighbor's, so to speak. One's own blessings should not result in the humiliation of one's neighbor."

Chapter 10 of Job explains how to oppress one's faults rather than the freedoms of expression and sources of happiness of others and attain to Shabbos. The pattern follows the Seven Days, after the curriculum found in the beginning of the Torah:

10 “I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and speak out in the bitterness of my soul. 2 I say to God: Do not declare me guilty, but tell me what charges you have against me. 3 Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the plans of the wicked? 4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees? 5 Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man, 6 that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin— 7 though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand?

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 1: Therefore I will give free rein. We do not actually have free rein. The Torah is rife with dos and don'ts; we have the God-given capacity for willfulness, but no one on this planet is allowed to be completely free. We enforce rules and laws every day in order to emphasize this. When enforcement fails, as in the case of Donald Trump, his cabinet, and the Congress, et al, then none of the rules matter anywhere, not really, and this is when free rein takes over. This is also called anarchy and it is loathed by every historian.

The Number is זאֶפֶסזט‎, "you messed up."

Creation began in perfection, then we came along and started a Third World War so a bunch of degenerates can use drugs and have sex with little kids without getting punished for it. It is the burden of the modern world to return it to God as He made it, and this apparently means ending the War and enforcing the very first rule in the Torah, "do not eat of the fruit."

v. 2: Tell me the charges you have. The Number is 5176 ה‎אז‎ו‎, "the time."

During Day 2, God created the Vault, the Ephesus. According to the etymology, one must master the curriculum within each Day ten times, once for each Decree:

"Morphologically not far removed from the previous root מנן (mnn), the verb מנה (mana) means to count (Genesis 13:16, 2 Samuel 24:1, Psalm 90:12) or assign (Isaiah 53:12, Daniel 1:5) — which brings it in close vicinity of the preposition מן (min). In order to count something, it has to be distinguished from others, after all. Studies of cognates show that this verb may have also been used in the sense of to be bounteous.

Its derivatives are:

The feminine noun מנה (mana), meaning portion or part (Exodus 29:26, Nehemiah 8:10).

The masculine noun מנה (maneh), which is a unit of weight, a.k.a. the mina (Ezekiel 45:12, 1 Kings 10:17).

The masculine noun מנה (moneh), meaning time (not clock-time but as in "ten times"). This word occurs only once, in Genesis 31:7.

The feminine noun מנת (menat), meaning portion (Nehemiah 12:44, Jeremiah 13:25).

The masculine noun מנון (manon), which is a dubious word (says BDB Theological Dictionary). It occurs only in Proverbs 29:21: ". . . will in the end find him to be a מנון (manon)" and translations vary widely, from "successor" (J.P. Green) and "continuator" (Young) to "thankless one" (BDB Theological Dictionary). The King James Version translated this word curiously with "son," but so do NAS and Darby. HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament translates this word with "grief" and so does NIV. JSP translates our word with "master".

= the concept of Torah Time. Time within the Torah is defined by accomplishment not the number of hours or seconds. One is expected to understand how to achieve Shabbos as early as possible in life, some of us are late bloomers, but the overarching theme is all mankind must learn how to please itself without infracting against the rest:

v. 3: Does it please you to oppress me? It must not please you to opppress me or anyone. Day Three is associated with the disappearance of the floodwaters that lifted Noach to Ararat. This does not mean God told Noach to build a massive ark and fill it with shitty animals and to float there till whenever.

The Third Day was the moment in human history when it realized it must consolidate in order to survive. We now have laws and rules and procedures that govern life on this world we are expected to adhere to them, we have agreed to do it. This means abuses of other men, plants, and animals, and places in ways that are not legal must be addressed as swift as with a falling sledge hammer.

The bullshit the people of the United States of America have been broadcasting about a man named Donald Trump, an evil drag queen if there ever was one, having "official duties" that include whatever he wants to do must be addressed before the next sundown.

The Number is 7671, ז‎וז‎א, "stir things up so they budge, they stir, they go away."

v. 4: Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees? The Christ got Himsdlf into a little snit with the temple rabbinate after it was discovered they were selling doves within the temple of the mount.

Selling doves, celestial visions to people is not allowed. One can only sell man to himself. If there is proof of a thing, man is allowed to believe in it and define it. There is not proof of a thing then man is allowed to search for it. Otherwise, man is not allowed to subscribe to the unbelievable based upon acts of faith.

The Number is 3470, לדע‎, "you have to know."

Day Four is when we become sentient, when we grapple with what is known and uknown in a scientific way, emotionally mature way. The Christ, whom history recounts as a real person was not able to persuade mankind to graduate from the Third Day and convince man to live like a man instead of a savage.

None of the enlightened beings, gods of Israel, angels, kings, sages or priests the world has seen so far have been able to get man to accept the yoke of the Living God and change his ways.

Unless we give up all superstition about God and come into a shared understanding about His Penultimate Realities, we shall never ever exceed past the violence of the Great Flood or float to the top of our troubled world.

v. 5: Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man. We are mortal, we are not that strong, we can be easily killed. The Fifth Day is the moment man no longer attains to the life of a seir, a caveman, i.e. he ‎‎‎"conveys himself past a head full of concerns", "reckons with all the horrid things he's done", and becomes a "gatekeeper on his grief."

The Number is 4174, םאזד‎ ‎, mazda, "thenceforth, understand what has happened."

from "Little thoughts or utensils that extinguish."

pruning a vineyard and singing praises was essentially the same thing. The bridge between these "two" verbs is that it describes the same difference that exists between (1a) a natural wilderness and (1b) a tended vineyard, and (2a) a crowd howling wildly and (2b) a choir singing a crafted song.

Our verb comes with the following derivations:

The masculine noun זמיר (zamir), meaning a trimming or pruning. Note that this noun is identical to the noun זמיר (zamir), meaning song. This noun occurs only once, in the Song of Solomon 2:12, in a brilliant sentence where considerations of vegetation (flowers appearing in the land) turn to the voice of the turtledove, across our noun, which some translations translate with a pruning or trimming, while others translate it with a singing.

The feminine noun זמורה (zemora), meaning branch or shoot. But in half of the half a dozen occurrences of this word in the Bible, something supernatural or idolatrous is going on. In Numbers 13:23 our word is applied to the vine-branch and huge cluster of grapes that the spies confiscate at Eshcol; Isaiah 17:10 speaks of the twigs of a strange (god), and in Ezekiel 8:17 the men of Judah are apparently engaged in some idolatrous ritual.

The feminine noun מזמרה (mazmera), denoting a pruning knife. This word occurs only in plural (Isaiah 18:5, Micah 4:3).

The feminine noun מזמרת (mezammeret), denoting a kind of utensil of Solomon's temple. This word occurs only in plural and only as part of a little list of temple utensils. Most versions translate this word with snuffer — a little tool that extinguishes a candle or oil lamp.

v. 6: You must search out. The Number is 3666, גו‎וו, the gow, "to be in the midst of a nation."

We know God wants us to attain to His Image but it is really our image as God is formless. He is the Unseen. But we can be seen. Once we see the best out there, we know what to do with what is within us. But without instrospection on the Torah, we have no hope of seeing God at all.

Moses was not able to complete the Torah, he stopped short of the Promised Land. Joshua in the "extra portion" found it but that was a story, an illustration of what it means to leave home as a young person and return home to become old and tired like one's parents.

But society never achieved the Promised Land. Thus the rabbis that heard about a man from Nazareth, a Jew who dared to confront Rome in order to establish Shabbat wrote the Gospels so we would neither forget nor stop trying to found it.

Joshua the Nazirite means "the Savior of the Faith."

Observe:

"The verb נצר (nasar) means to watch, guard or keep. It describes the diligent endeavor of keeping something shielded from an intervening outside world and maintaining this thing's constitutional integrity. Items so kept range from vineyards to single trees and from solitary persons to entire towns. It may describe keeping a promise or covenant or edict, or an attitude of kindness or a secret or one's intentions.

The plural word נצרים (nasarim) describes men engaged in the activity the verb describes: watchmen, safe keepers, protectors. The adjective נציר (nasir) refers to the thing protected or preserved.

Noun נצר (neser) means branch or shoot and describes both a plant's most tender part and its mode of expansion or progression. This noun may actually come from a verb that means to be fresh or green, but since it describes something precious and vulnerable, it fits right into the root that describes protecting and preserving."

v. 7: Rescue me from your hand. Shabbat, Day Seven is also called nirvana, nirvikalpa samadhi, liberation in order faiths, but it is the moment one no longer struggles against the call or the wild, the aspccts of lawlessness and sin that tempt us to try to escape the consequences of our actions. Shabbat does not mean lay around and watch the dust bunnies, it means the fruits of the actions are pure, they will not cause srtife if their seeds are planted again.

Man cannot handle being so religious all the time, especially when he decides to practice it without discipline or an highly desirable end point. God has promised us heaven at the end of our days if we have decided long since to live a noble life. Happy, long lived persons who know how to love and are much loved need not trouble with religion or strain during translation into the afterbirth. The rest- strifers and troublemakers, these are a different story.

The Number is 5048, האֶפֶסדח‎‎, "the nightmare."

From Mikeitz:

Joseph is brought out of prison to interpret Pharaoh's dreams, thereby becoming viceroy over Egypt, the global superpower of the day. How did Joseph do it? And why couldn't anybody else understand the message which seems so obvious?

The moment other persons start to realize the Self, and stop conforming to the rules of religion, it causes great suspicion as it means institutions and organizations that depend on social control are going to be questioned. This results in profound shifts in society and consciousness, the very same which receive extensive treatment in the Mishnah. For some it means decidely good things, for others it can result in job loss, even arrest.

For the Jew, it means the end of the nightmare, three thousand years of homelessness and helplessness. The only qualm mentioned by the Most High is no one who suffers as the Jew has ever suffered must be left behind as the dream of the new world begins to take hold. This is the most sacred tenet of the faith. It is the very reason a man named Jesus, the Carpenter's Son and a Bar Mitzvah went to the Temple Mount and told the world it needed to care about itself.

Especially for the whores. Jesus said unto them, “Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the Kingdom of God before you."

The afterlife is not discussed within the Jewish Library too much which is why discussions about afterlife forms are discouraged. That leaves one alternative. A topic we are becoming less familiar with every day, hence the attempt of the Christ to redirect us.
